It's not just the voice. It's: ▪Those hand gestures ▪Those facial expressions ▪The way he stands It's everything. This man doesn't sing for money. He is truly passionate about music.
MJ said what's emotion on the movie Jackson 5 movie when he was a boy this brotha has alot of it Respect Peace and love And for those who didn't get watch the movie Jackson 5 when MJ asked Berry Gordon what's emotion
Someone asked me why this was my favorite song from him. Especially watching the live performance. Couldn’t explain it clearly but it’s all of the above in one, it’s inspiring
I had a pure pleasure to attend his concert yesterday. The atmosphere he creates is out of this world. It seemed like the crowd was in some kind of hypnosis the whole time - silently enjoying his performance and going wild after each song. It's too bad that there's no video on youtube of him covering the "Knockin' On Heaven's Door". That was unexpected but very beautiful!
The point of doing a cover is to transform the song into other sounds and other thing totally different. If a cover is just an immitation that cover becomes just a bad copy of the original. So I don’t think we have to judge the cover according to if it’s close to the original but according to how creative it is.
Agree. In fact him and Hamzaa have that spiritualness about them. outstanding artist waiting to blow.. Th World will soon hear you brother! Stay true to yourself.
Kate hutchings yes love for my people for my culture form my sons and daughters for my brothers and sisters. Not for my enemies although I wish them well I am not forced or required to love them. I believe even God Hates, yes he hates evil.
@@katehutchings6039 my favourite musician John Lennon sang about peace. Bed in peace. Some laughed at him all he was doing was trying to get some peace. I’m sure he would be in floods of tears at the hate in this world right now. The only musician I hear talking is the brilliant Rodger Waters. I used to sing and when I first heard this man sing the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. Truly amazing, soulful magical God given voice. Love you man. Peace ✌️
@@Caraokayokayokay are you Black? As a black man I can hear the way he feels and looks. Enough that when I first saw him I was like I expected this to be him.
Literally the top 3 most beautiful songs I’ve heard in my life... if not my most favorite song. Chills! To all my fellow humans reading this... I love you. Life is not a race. We’re all connected...
Mr. Jacob Banks, I'm a single mom of 2 very successful young men, 1 of which is very musically artistic. When I first heard this song, it brought tears to my eyes because I about how quickly they grew up. I wanted to just stop time and keep them young and never let them go. But now that they are grown up I'm so proud of the successful people they've become. I also have 1 daughter who is truly a testament to the fact that single mom's can raise beautiful successful tributes to society. This song is magical to me, it truly touches my heart and soul, your voice is so full of soul and so are you. Thank you for the soulful music.
Beautiful share. I believe there are way more successful single moms, single parents out here than political media, social media would have us think. You all are too busy working on your families, yourself and your world to give a damn what people think. You're living a full life. Thank you, Beautiful.
What I've learnt from the ocean Hard to dance and rejoice in the motion Let the sun have its moment The moon will come What I've learnt from a soldier Every man is a son to a daughter And we only remember When we see the blood Don't grow up on me Keep that backstroke in your Afro Don't you grow up on me Slow up homie Don't you grow up on me Keep it OG sipping slowly Don't you grow up on me Slow up homie Don't you show off on me Don't you grow up on me Show off on me What I've learnt from a traveler There's no road that can lead to nirvana There's a world to discover But home is love Mhm What I've learnt from a mirror Look too hard and you'll find you a stranger Love is just a decision The choice is yours Don't grow up on me Keep that backstroke in your Afro Don't you grow up on me Slow up homie Don't you grow up on me Keep it OG sipping slowly Don't you grow up on me Slow up homie Don't you show off on me Don't you grow up on me Slow up homie Don't you grow up on me Don't grow up on me Wear your Afro like your backbone Don't you grow up on me Slow up homie Don't you grow up on me Keep it OG sipping slowly Don't you grow up on me Slow up homie Don't you grow up on me Wear that Afro like your backbone Don't you grow up on me Slow up homie Don't you grow up on me Keep it OG sipping slowly Don't you grow up on me Slow up homie Don't you show off on me Don't you grow up on me Don't you grow up on me Slow up homie Slow up homie

Who is listening during lockdown? Dedicating this song to all the Doctors, nurses , hospital staff , delivery guys , cashiers and all the people on the frontline . 😢
I fell inlove with his voice a few months ago when a good friend introduced me to his music.....he just gives me chills and goosebumps ☺️ 🇿🇦🇿🇦All the way from Mzansi
Listen he connects me to izinyanya zam like never before, something about his voice takes me near to them. This song right here is fixing things for me. I don't know how to explain it to you but something about him connects me to my ancestors, especially to my mum and my dad. ❤️ There's something about him!!!
You can litterally hear his guts in his voice. The guy is not moving an inch but damn you cannot look elsewhere when a man sing with his soul like that...

I found myself on my bathroom floor with a razor in my wrist and this came up in a que with the music I was listening to.... talking about saving someone’s life..... this moves demons..... NO ONE does that anymore.
Yahweh is Love. You don't have to debate with your mind, just free your spirit. Invite Him into your life. He is everywhere, even right where you are. 🤗
YayoMontega I hope you are ok now and in a better place. Stay strong, we love you! The world will be incomplete without you. We are all on this difficult journey, learning and growing together. Someday, through our pains we shall reach the stars. I LOVE YOU!
When you see him singing, you know he lives his song, entirely. It comes from the bottom of his heart and all those people present feel the vibes, the energy. It’s just spiritual!
First time hearing this was a few days ago. I was holding my 2mo old nephew and bawling my eyes out, squeezing him so tight 😭 If you're reading this, God bless 🙏💙
I am not in the crowd, yet I can feel every emotion!!! Slow up is one of my favourite songs and this live performance?!!!! I am in tears! absolutely beautiful. Ha!
Sings with his eyes closed, feeling every word! Absolutely beautiful. My husband and I have 8 sons and 2 daughters! Only one left at home this hit home! Love the voice, style and passion. #Fan
Boy ...who hurt you that much? The universe? The earth? The love of your life? Friends? Food? 🤔 Everything yu sing becomes so emotional n special damn...😔😔😔😦
I lost my son about a year back now, he was murdered, I feel like this song helps me connect to him in a way I've never been able to, my son was only 2 years old his name was Jordan Thomas Robinson jr and he was the sweetest kindest kid in th world, this song is a twist happiness and sadness in the great combination I've ever heard, hands down my favorite song‼💯 I so thankful for finding this song, #RIPBABYJOJO💔🙏🙌
RIP baby JOJO and I know that your little soul is resting in peace. As a parent that must be hard, I beg you to be strong. I have 3 and I pray that none of them die before because I know that I wouldn't be able to make it. Sending you love from Jamaica 🇯🇲 ❤
If you were in the audience you know that this video should have been 10 min long because we gave him a 5 min standing ovation... Grateful I was in the audience on that night... unbelievable performance!
I remember this night vividly. JB's voice is captivatingly electrifying. One of my favourite gigs to have attended. Should you get an opportunity to go and watch him, do it!
Moved to tears - I misheard "What I learned from a neighbor, Look too hard and you'll find a stranger. Love is a choice." Correct is "mirror" not neighbor, but that's the same idea - we can choose to see our family in everyone we meet or a stranger to whom we treat like they don't matter. Love is a choice. What he learned from a mirror can be applied to everyone.
This song provides so much nourishment to the spirit. First time I heard it settled over me like a warm blanket. It resonated with this chapter of my life so much so ... I can see beyond the killer track and amazing vocals to the soul of the lyrics. This is a testament to how much Jacob gives to his music. In this song he gives it all. What a gift. What John Mayer’s Gravity did for many Slow Up will do. It is my humble opinion that this song is Jakob’s Gravity🙏🏽
Poetic. Every single thing but especially the way he holds on to the microphone stand after he has sung every single note and given every gesture!!!!!! Good Lord!
SIR JACOB BANKS - HE IS A WORLD MASTER OF SOUL SINGING ! GOOSEBUMPS EACH SECOND ! WHAT A LIGHT HE SPREADS JUST STANDING THERE AND LETTING OUT THE MOST BRILLIANT TUNES !
Love the lyrics, when I moved into my apartment I had wall stickers made of quotes from the song... what ive learned from a traveller, and what ive learned from a mirror.. fantastic! Most musicians lyrics are garbage these days, this is a breath of fresh air!
Я не знаю английского языка,но эта песня почему-то приводит меня в замешательство.Я не могу ее спокойно слушать.Душа,всем внутренним миром куда-то улетает и хочет обнять всех вокруг и близких.Не бывает столько боли,сколько есть в душе!Множество эмоций чувств в его интонации голоса.О чем он поет?Это сильно,на уровне ощущений.
My son and I went and saw him. We had our arms around each other's shoulders when he sang this song. When he hit that note. We both started laughing with tears in our eyes. One of my favorite memories. I love Jacob Banks!!
As a Mother of 3 amazing children... this song brings me to my knees... I want to hold on for forever but I know I must let go.... The live version is just as beautiful if not more beautiful than the studio version.... This speaks to the soul of a Mother, A Father... to be a parent is if not the most sacrificial love you could ever experience. I'm afraid, I'm excited, I'm protective, I'm fearful, I'm hopeful and in all those feelings I must still let go of my babies. I love you Andrea, Brandon, Anita
I’ve never seen anything more beautiful. You are such a pleasure to hear and see!! This is real talent Jacob, you are truly special. Thank you for giving us this wonderful gift in hearing lyrics that not only moves us but touch so deeply. I love you!!!

It's not just the voice. It's:
▪Those hand gestures
▪Those facial expressions
▪The way he stands
It's everything.
This man doesn't sing for money. He is truly passionate about music.
I FEEL this comment. His being resonates spiritually.
MJ said what's emotion on the movie Jackson 5 movie when he was a boy this brotha has alot of it Respect Peace and love
And for those who didn't get watch the movie Jackson 5 when MJ asked Berry Gordon what's emotion
Someone asked me why this was my favorite song from him. Especially watching the live performance. Couldn’t explain it clearly but it’s all of the above in one, it’s inspiring
EVERY.SINGLE.THING! just hauntingly beautiful. Outstanding
Yes, Jacob he's the man 💪 love from Portugal.
The way the crowd was silent is a testament to the beauty of his voice. Captivating performance.
SugarDaddy 91 To get that many people focused on ya every word it’s pure magic
for a minute I thought there was no one there but then again I remembered it's him there's no way people will miss that
Dude I would also be speechless with this kind of performance... You could only hear the tears dropping on the floor !
speechless.

It seemed like the crowd was in some kind of hypnosis the whole time - silently enjoying his performance and going wild after each song. It's too bad that there's no video on youtube of him covering the "Knockin' On Heaven's Door". That was unexpected but very beautiful!
A silent crowd, minimalistic instrumentals, just a man, his voice, his words, this is indeed beauty.
I doubt if anyone can cover this guy's songs and do it justice. The power he has is divinely seasoned
Kwabena Ankrah “Divinely seasoned.” I like that expression a lot.
i agree with you
agreed
The point of doing a cover is to transform the song into other sounds and other thing totally different. If a cover is just an immitation that cover becomes just a bad copy of the original. So I don’t think we have to judge the cover according to if it’s close to the original but according to how creative it is.
"Divinely seasoned".awesome choice of words
Jacob Banks is the man that he thinks he is!! ❤🙌 I still hope to watch him perform this song live one day.
I saw him a couple years ago, amazing! I love him, he’s a beautiful human!
Driving to work at 6 in the morning…. Took 30 years, but this is the first time I’ve ever cried to a song. Beautiful ❤
I listen every so often to just release my tears and built up pain😢❤
There's something spiritual about your voice. I cant explain it.
Just ... WOW
Solomon Winkay it’s that African in him bro loved his voice since I first heard it
He’s got a very African tone that just resonates in ya soul
Solomon Winkay Mahogany session say something was the first song I heard
totally agree
Agree. In fact him and Hamzaa have that spiritualness about them. outstanding artist waiting to blow.. Th World will soon hear you brother! Stay true to yourself.
Yes that raspy voice how he control the deep runs saying things you've been thinking he is amazing
This dude is amongst the type of people that can change the world with his powerful voice & meaningful music
If everyone would just listen, u can't help but feel love . That's all we need. We've seen how hate destroys all. It's time to try love now........
Kate hutchings yes love for my people for my culture form my sons and daughters for my brothers and sisters. Not for my enemies although I wish them well I am not forced or required to love them. I believe even God Hates, yes he hates evil.
He makes you believe every single word.
His Voice is astounding!!! Powerful and yes..can change the world!!
@@katehutchings6039 my favourite musician John Lennon sang about peace. Bed in peace. Some laughed at him all he was doing was trying to get some peace.
I’m sure he would be in floods of tears at the hate in this world right now.
The only musician I hear talking is the brilliant Rodger Waters.
I used to sing and when I first heard this man sing the hairs on the back of my neck stood up.
Truly amazing, soulful magical God given voice.
Love you man.
Peace ✌️
He embodies a black man from his skin, stance, voice and demeanor 😍✊🏿
Completely!
The epitome
I don't get it exactly?
@@Caraokayokayokay are you Black? As a black man I can hear the way he feels and looks. Enough that when I first saw him I was like I expected this to be him.
Exactly. Also his height, his broad shoulders...etc everyone has a black friend who look that. Going even he embodies the AFRICAN MAN
Literally the top 3 most beautiful songs I’ve heard in my life... if not my most favorite song. Chills! To all my fellow humans reading this... I love you. Life is not a race. We’re all connected...
Can I have the list of your top three

I love you.
Wolf Pack Cash what are the other 2 songs?
@Wolf Pack Cash please share the other 2
As an usher, I got my own private show during his sound check and cried during Unknown. His voice is very powerful in this song and it hit me hard.
Man poured his soul into this.
I will NEVER get tired of hearing his voice!!😍
Never !
me too
Madonna Green you and I both. He gives me chills when he sings.
Never ever!
Each time it just gets better. So powerful
3.6 million views is a damn crime, if only this had a billion views instead, the world would be a merrier place. Soul food.
Who comes here once in a while again, to get reminded that “don’t you grow up on me, slow up on me” whatever that translates to you is okay.
Bongani Arthur think of my little brother every single time 🔥❤️
every time Bongz
For me its the line that says "... every man is a son to a daughter, and we only remember when we see the blood" the line is so profound.
For me it’s that life goes by quick. So slow down. Stop rushing to grow up so quickly.
And I'm still here, and it's so sweet to see what it means to each one of you guys- uplifting
Mr. Jacob Banks, I'm a single mom of 2 very successful young men, 1 of which is very musically artistic.

It's not music, it's art - masterpiece
What I've learnt from the ocean
Hard to dance and rejoice in the motion
Let the sun have its moment
The moon will come
What I've learnt from a soldier
Every man is a son to a daughter
And we only remember
When we see the blood
Don't grow up on me
Keep that backstroke in your Afro
Don't you grow up on me
Slow up homie
Don't you grow up on me
Keep it OG sipping slowly
Don't you grow up on me
Slow up homie
Don't you show off on me
Don't you grow up on me
Show off on me
What I've learnt from a traveler
There's no road that can lead to nirvana
There's a world to discover
But home is love
Mhm
What I've learnt from a mirror
Look too hard and you'll find you a stranger
Love is just a decision
The choice is yours
Don't grow up on me
Keep that backstroke in your Afro
Don't you grow up on me
Slow up homie
Don't you grow up on me
Keep it OG sipping slowly
Don't you grow up on me
Slow up homie
Don't you show off on me
Don't you grow up on me
Slow up homie
Don't you grow up on me
Don't grow up on me
Wear your Afro like your backbone
Don't you grow up on me
Slow up homie
Don't you grow up on me
Keep it OG sipping slowly
Don't you grow up on me
Slow up homie
Don't you grow up on me
Wear that Afro like your backbone
Don't you grow up on me
Slow up homie
Don't you grow up on me
Keep it OG sipping slowly
Don't you grow up on me
Slow up homie
Don't you show off on me
Don't you grow up on me
Don't you grow up on me
Slow up homie
Slow up homie
I think these are the correct lyrics (verse 1 line 2 corrected):
[Verse 1]

[Chorus]
Don't grow up on me
Keep that backstroke in your afro
Don't you grow up on me
Slow up homie
Don’t you grow up on me
Keep it OG sipping slowly
Don't you grow up on me
Slow up homie
Don't you show off on me
Don't you grow up on me

What I've learnt from a traveller
There's no road that can lead to Nirvana

Glad I'm not the only one. I'm a snot nosed wreck now. So moving.
Not a single sound..just his voice..that must mean something💓
I noticed. Everyone was just spellbound silent and listening.
I fell inlove with his voice a few months ago when a good friend introduced me to his music.....he just gives me chills and goosebumps ☺️
🇿🇦🇿🇦All the way from Mzansi
Hi fellow South African, I just discovered him right at this moment... Chilling on the couch, locked down... 🙏🏾
He just has a way of taking me on a spiritual journey....enjoy 👌
As another random South African. I have discovered him years ago whilst watching the TV series Suits.
Hey fellow South African here, I absolutely love him too ❤️❤️
Listen he connects me to izinyanya zam like never before, something about his voice takes me near to them. This song right here is fixing things for me.

Imagine existing in the airspace of his voice. What a lucky crowd
This is that real music. The kind that leaves you trembling, crying and hollowed out, but filled with something you didn't realize you'd been missing
This is a clinic in stage presence.
He never moves his feet.
3:08 got me in tears 😭😭... There's something about your voice 🙌. Raw and annointed ❤️🙏
He totally snapped there.

This is one of the deepest songs I've ever listened to, it's like a whole new emotion on its own. Never slow up on us Jacob Banks
Imagine if he starts singing worship songs, everyone will end up on their knees praying and being emotional
We need more christian artist using more of the creativy God gave them and not put them in the box of what church music should look like.
I was thinking the same thing!!
If what you just heard isn’t ‘worship’ song enough, I don’t know what is.
I am not in the crowd, yet I can feel every emotion!!! Slow up is one of my favourite songs and this live performance?!!!! I am in tears! absolutely beautiful. Ha!
Jealous
Artists like him live each and every single note. It's like a religious experience watching artists like him.
@@brandothecatmeow Its like a DMT trip.
If I ever get even the slightest opportunity to fly to wherever you're performing. Anywhere in the world, I would go!
I really need to see you live😢
We'll vaya together
Nami please!
I have the exact same wish, is imposible one le his performs in my country but I really want to see him
He needs to come to SA very soon. Love him

The universe? The earth? The love of your life? Friends? Food? 🤔

I lost my son about a year back now, he was murdered, I feel like this song helps me connect to him in a way I've never been able to, my son was only 2 years old his name was Jordan Thomas Robinson jr and he was the sweetest kindest kid in th world, this song is a twist happiness and sadness in the great combination I've ever heard, hands down my favorite song‼💯 I so thankful for finding this song, #RIPBABYJOJO💔🙏🙌
Sending you lots of love. I wish you the best. Everything will be okay.
RIP baby JOJO and I know that your little soul is resting in peace. As a parent that must be hard, I beg you to be strong. I have 3 and I pray that none of them die before because I know that I wouldn't be able to make it. Sending you love from Jamaica 🇯🇲 ❤
Sending you love

If this song 😮💨doesnt move your soul than yu aint human🔥💯
If you were in the audience you know that this video should have been 10 min long because we gave him a 5 min standing ovation... Grateful I was in the audience on that night... unbelievable performance!
incredible!
Jacob has the kind of voice that can heal the soul.
honestly
one of the only good, talented singers these days, your vocals are amazing
Agree with you. Another one great voice a french singer "ben l'oncle soul " I am sure you'll like it. Greetings From France
Beyonce
The way he stands, it's as if he can feel the music, like he's breathing and taking it all in.
No matter how much I hear this I'm moved. Painfully beautiful.
The music is in his veins...The way he's connected is divine!
I remember this night vividly. JB's voice is captivatingly electrifying. One of my favourite gigs to have attended. Should you get an opportunity to go and watch him, do it!
Music is life, I came here because I listened to this music while watching the movie “Fatherhood”. This guy is a such good singer! Love from Angola 🇦🇴
It was so great hearing this in person two week ago in Brooklyn. I felt so happy, it was like the experience of heaven on earth.
Moved to tears - I misheard "What I learned from a neighbor, Look too hard and you'll find a stranger. Love is a choice." Correct is "mirror" not neighbor, but that's the same idea - we can choose to see our family in everyone we meet or a stranger to whom we treat like they don't matter. Love is a choice. What he learned from a mirror can be applied to everyone.
I'm obsessed. I cry every time
Music with depth.
''What I've learned from a soldier, every man is a son to a daughter. And we only remember, when we see the blood" amazing lyrics brother
Iyooh! This brother right here is the best! God is great!
PLEASE COME TO SOUTH AFRICA!!!
I really think this is the best version of the song that I've listened to. Truly amazing.
This song provides so much nourishment to the spirit. First time I heard it settled over me like a warm blanket. It resonated with this chapter of my life so much so ... I can see beyond the killer track and amazing vocals to the soul of the lyrics. This is a testament to how much Jacob gives to his music. In this song he gives it all. What a gift. What John Mayer’s Gravity did for many Slow Up will do. It is my humble opinion that this song is Jakob’s Gravity🙏🏽
God Bless Jacob Banks
He's pleading with us to slow down!
Jacob makes me so happy to be from an African descent and a Nigerian at that
After 4 years of listening - every time it brings me strong emotions. What a voice.
A year later I still keep coming back to this jam..
Did anyone notice he sang this whole song with his eyes closed and soul wide open?
This man is a true legend. Hands down. I've been a fan for years. He blows my mind no matter how many times I listen to his songs. Just wow
oh woww, I've never been so stunned. The crowd just cannot believe they are in his presence. What a soul brother...God has blessed you
bro your talented something out of this world your music for the soul for real ... eye opening and life changing... bless fam
Poetic.
Every single thing but especially the way he holds on to the microphone stand after he has sung every single note and given every gesture!!!!!!
Good Lord!
The last woman dancing in the video is MOOD!
i wish i could like this video twice
SIR JACOB BANKS - HE IS A WORLD MASTER OF SOUL SINGING ! GOOSEBUMPS EACH SECOND ! WHAT A LIGHT HE SPREADS JUST STANDING THERE AND LETTING OUT THE MOST BRILLIANT TUNES !
Love the lyrics, when I moved into my apartment I had wall stickers made of quotes from the song... what ive learned from a traveller, and what ive learned from a mirror.. fantastic! Most musicians lyrics are garbage these days, this is a breath of fresh air!
His music resonates to all, and that voice and what he's saying, is strong and powerful!!!
Я не знаю английского языка,но эта песня почему-то приводит меня в замешательство.Я не могу ее спокойно слушать.Душа,всем внутренним миром куда-то улетает и хочет обнять всех вокруг и близких.Не бывает столько боли,сколько есть в душе!Множество эмоций чувств в его интонации голоса.О чем он поет?Это сильно,на уровне ощущений.
Every time this song gets to 3:06 it touches the depths of my soul and raises my pores...💞🥰 don't you grow up on me....
1:35 pause too just wow
I think I rewind at least 10 times when it gets there🙌🏽😭
My son and I went and saw him. We had our arms around each other's shoulders when he sang this song. When he hit that note. We both started laughing with tears in our eyes. One of my favorite memories. I love Jacob Banks!!
It's 2021 and this is still my daily song, there's something special about this song
I wish sound techs in SA could take notes on how to LET US HEAR his voice for GOD'S SAKE! 😢 Smooth giant this one
this voice is taking me somewhere i have never been, just couldn't stop lightening to him !
Eden Habtamu same! Wait till you see him live... its a priceless experience
Aow! Whaf did I just watch. He's not even human. Pure god energy.
I just saw him open up for City and Colour, and he absolutely blew me away, especially when he sang this song. Simply stunning.
I was there and I was ever glad!!! I've been following Jacob Banks for a few years now!!! He is 1000 times better live. The atmosphere is spiritual.
As a Mother of 3 amazing children... this song brings me to my knees... I want to hold on for forever but I know I must let go.... The live version is just as beautiful if not more beautiful than the studio version.... This speaks to the soul of a Mother, A Father... to be a parent is if not the most sacrificial love you could ever experience. I'm afraid, I'm excited, I'm protective, I'm fearful, I'm hopeful and in all those feelings I must still let go of my babies. I love you Andrea, Brandon, Anita
i guess im looping this and crying all night. this is what art is . its feeling emotion
I’ve never seen anything more beautiful. You are such a pleasure to hear and see!! This is real talent Jacob, you are truly special. Thank you for giving us this wonderful gift in hearing lyrics that not only moves us but touch so deeply. I love you!!!
I love the immediate applause!
Fatherhood brought me here🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Those vocals 😭😭💕
What the h did I just hear?? I can still feel the goosebumps
A voice .. A talent .. A great artist .. Great !!!
He's been keeping it OG
*a moment of silence for this soul*
